and profits of
the Subject Property, including, without limitation, all parking
income and all amounts payable and all rights and benefits accruing
to Grantor under the Leases (“Payments”). The term
“Leases” shall also include all guarantees of and
security for the lessees’ performance thereunder, and all
amendments, extensions, renewals or modifications thereto which are
permitted hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
this is a present and absolute assignment, not an assignment for
security purposes only, and Beneficiary’s right to the Leases
and Payments is not contingent upon, and may be exercised without
possession of, the Subject Property, and without any commencement
of a foreclosure or appointment of a receiver.
|
|
|
3.2
|
GRANT OF
LICENSE . Beneficiary
confers upon Grantor a license (“License”) to collect
and retain the Payments as they become due and payable, until the
occurrence of a Default (as hereinafter defined). To the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon a Default, the License shall be
automatically revoked and Beneficiary may collect and apply the
Payments pursuant to Section 6.4 without notice and without
taking possession of the Subject Property, and further without
commencement of a foreclosure or appointment of a receiver. Grantor
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the lessees under the
Leases to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by
Beneficiary for the payment to Beneficiary of any rental or other
sums which may at any time become due under the Leases, or for the
performance of any of the lessees’ undertakings under the
Leases, and the lessees shall have no right or duty to inquire as
to whether any Default has actually occurred or is then existing
hereunder. Grantor hereby relieves the lessees from any liability
to Grantor by reason of relying upon and complying with any such
notice or demand by Beneficiary. Furthermore, upon any Default and
revocation of the License as aforesaid, Beneficiary shall be
entitled to receive and Grantor covenants to deliver immediately to
Beneficiary, upon demand, any and all Payments theretofore
collected by Grantor which remain in the possession or control of
Grantor, whether or not commingled with other funds of Grantor, and
to the extent such Payments have not been delivered, the Payments
shall be held in trust for Beneficiary.
|
|
|
3.3
|
EFFECT OF
ASSIGNMENT . The
foregoing irrevocable assignment shall not cause Beneficiary to be:
(a) a mortgagee in possession; (b) responsible or liable
for the control, care, management or repair of the Subject Property
or for performing any of the terms, agreements, undertakings,
obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions
of the Leases; or (c) responsible or liable for any waste
committed on the Subject Property by the lessees under any of the
Leases or any other parties; for any dangerous or defective
condition of the Subject Property; or for any negligence in the
management, upkeep, repair or control of the Subject Property
resulting in loss or injury or death to any lessee, licensee,
employee, invitee or other person. Beneficiary shall not directly
or indirectly be liable to Grantor or any other person as a
consequence of: (i) the exercise or failure to exercise by
Beneficiary or Trustee, or any of their respective employees,
agents, contractors or subcontractors, any of the rights, remedies
or powers granted to Beneficiary hereunder; or (ii) the
failure or refusal of Beneficiary to perform or discharge any
obligation, duty or liability of Grantor arising under the

terms of the Loan Agreement, terminate, modify or amend any of the

provisions of this Section 3.5 shall be null and void. Without
in any way limiting the requirement of Beneficiary’s consent
hereunder, any sums received by Grantor in consideration of any
termination (or the release or discharge of any lessee)
modification or amendment of any Lease shall be applied as set
forth in the Loan Agreement.
